Application filed April 1, 1912. SerialNo. 687,759.

Be itknown that I, CHARLES. F-i-SCHRIN ER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Cleveland, in the county, of Quyahoga and I State-of Ohio, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Faucet-Attachmg Devices, of which the following is a specification.

This invention relates. to improvements in faucet attaching devices, and is particularly designed to'provide means for removably securing. afaucet within a barrel for the purpose of shipping the faucet with the barwith said barrel.

rel, which faucet isto; be used in connection The object of; the invention is to provide a simple-device of the above character espe cially applicable for metallic barrels such as used for oil and other liquids. With the above and other objects in view as will be understood, the invention consists in certain combinations and arrangements of theparts'hereinafter fully described, and

v the novel features thereof will be distinctly pointed out in the appended claims. For a clear understanding of the invention, reference-will be had to the accompanying drawingsillustrating a preferred embodiment thereof, and in the drawings like characters of reference indicate correspondingyarts'. 1

gure 1 is an elevation of a barrel, certain parts being broken awaytomore clearly show my invention applied thereto when ready forshipment, Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the faucet attached to the head of' i the barrel instead of to the side bung-hole,

Fig. -3 is a View similar to Fi 1 showing the invention applied to the harrel when ready' for use, Fig. 4 is" a detail sectional view, on an enlarged scale, of the capwith the faucet attached-as shipped, Fig. 5-is a .similar view of the plug flange, with the faucet attached when in use, and Fig. 6 illustrates a modification of the cap.

In the drawings, 1 represents a metallic barrel of ordinary construction, which is rovided with a bung-hole 2 at its slde.

ixed to the outer side of the barrel at the bung-hole is a flange 3,- which is provided with internal threads for receiving the external threads/i of a cap 5 having a flange 6, and the usual square portion? to which may "be applied a wrench for screwing the ca into the flange. The cap 5 is provided wit internal threads Sfor receiving the corre:

spondingly threaded shank 9 of a faucet lu' Patented liIar.4,19 1"3.,

preferably of the style shown in thedraw ings.

It is to be observed, that the iuternally threaded portion of the flange .3 is" of- .suflicient SlZe to admit the faucet 10 when:

attached to the cap 5, to be pas ed there through from the outside of the arrel for the purpose of securing the cap in the flange.

One of the heads of the barrel as 11-, pref- 5 rovided with ange 13 is seerably. near its periphery, is an outlet opening 12 and a cured to said head. The flange 13 is vided with internal threads lfor receiving' an ordinary plug 15 'having-threads-"corre spending to the threaded portion-950i the S.

faucet '10 plained.

When. the barrels] iii-e .t5 l w i' j;. empty from the factory where'made or after for a purpose hereinafter ex-- being filled with 'oil arm-tier liquids, fthe' i faucets 10'are sec' uredtothclcaps-jowhich,

are screwed into the flanges 3, therbby fixing the faucets to theinside of the bfarrelsin I order that they will be protectedin shi ment,.and the plugs 15 are secured. int c f flanges 13. In order to set the barrels up 'j. for use,.they are laid ontheir sides as shown -.z" s'5flare removed by in Fig. 3, and thecap means of a wrench applied to the square portions 7. The faucets 10 are then unscrewed fromthe caps 5' and the caps -rescrewed into the flanges 3.. The barrels are again stood ontheir-ends and the plugs 15 removed. The faucets 10 are then secured to the flanges 13 in place of the'plugs 15,

and the barrels laid on their sides in the ordinary manner for withdrawing liquid: I

therefrom by means of ,the faucets. It is obvious that the same purpose can be accomplished by fixinga flange 16- to the what I claim is:

1. In a device of the character the combination with a receptacle an opening, of a faucetjza cap,,means ,f9rremovably' securing the faucetto the described my invention.-
